Position: Quality Systems Engineer Chandler, AZ, US Posted 12 hours ago
## Quality Systems Engineer Chandler, AZ, United States At Pac Sci EMC, When Milliseconds Matter, quality is not a department — it is a discipline embedded in every product we build.

We are seeking a Quality Systems Engineer to establish and execute a proactive product surveillance program across our manufacturing cells. This is a highly visible, floor-embedded role designed to reduce scrap, prevent escapes, and strengthen our quality systems through real-time engagement in the build process.

This is not a desk-based QMS position. This role will serve as a roving quality presence across manufacturing operations, with the authority to stop work when necessary and the responsibility to drive measurable improvements in product performance and process discipline.
** Key Responsibilities
**** Product Surveillance & Audit Execution (Primary Focus – ~60–70%)
*** Execute proactive product surveillance audits across high-revenue aerospace programs.
* Review build activities in real time to ensure adherence to inspection criteria and process requirements.
* Exercise authority to pause production when nonconformance is identified and partner with cell leadership to drive immediate corrective action.
* Conduct approximately 30 surveillance audits per week across prioritized programs.
* Support maturation of structured product audit checklists for high-impact parts.  
** Process Audits & Manufacturing Discipline (~30–40%)
*** Conduct process audits including PPE compliance, hazardous material controls, work instruction adherence, and calibration status.
* Verify that manufacturing documentation and traceability requirements are consistently met.
* Collaborate with Manufacturing Quality Engineers (MQEs) to identify systemic audit themes.  
** Root Cause & Corrective Action
*** Lead structured root cause analysis (5-Why, Fishbone, data-driven methods) to identify systemic contributors.
* Implement sustainable corrective actions to prevent recurrence.
* Support reduction of scrap, rework, PRB involvement, and cost of poor quality (COPQ).
* Maintain and track corrective action progress as required.  
** Data Analysis & Continuous Improve men
** t* Collect and analyze quality data to identify trends and high-risk build activities.
* Develop Pareto charts and other analytical tools to prioritize improvement efforts.
* Drive measurable reductions in defect rates and operational waste.
* Contribute to lean and continuous improvement initiatives within manufacturing cells.  
** APQP & Quality Systems Development
*** Support the execution and maturation of APQP-related tools (PFMEA, Control Plans, PPAP) as site processes evolve.
* Assist in strengthening product audit systems and surveillance methodologies.
* Partner cross-functionally to improve process controls and sustain improvements.  
** Customer & Supplier Support**
* • Provide audit findings and product build insights to Customer Quality and Production leadership as needed.
* • Support customer and supplier audits by supplying technical data and build insights.
* • Assist Supplier Development Engineering in resolving vendor discrepancies when required.  
** What Success Looks Like (12 Months)**
* • Reduced scrap and cost of poor quality through proactive intervention.
* • Matured and expanded product surveillance program across key revenue parts.
* • Established credibility and trust across manufacturing cells.
* • Demonstrated systems-level thinking that connects upstream process controls to downstream product performance.
* • Successfully exercised stop-work authority when required — without disrupting team engagement.  
** Qualifications*
* ** Required
* ** 5+ years of experience in a manufacturing quality environment.
* Aerospace manufacturing experience required.
* AS9100 audit experience required.
* Demonstrated experience leading root cause analysis in a production environment.
* Working knowledge of GD&T and manufacturing inspection principles.
* Strong data analysis capabilities (Pareto, trend analysis, statistical interpretation).
* Ability to operate with authority and influence on the manufacturing floor.
* Strong written and verbal communication skills.  
** Preferred
* ** Exposure to APQP…
